First impressions seem to be very positive after last night’s premier:

There’s an embargo on full in-depth reviews which lifts on the 28th I believe.

Official reviews embargo has lifted and this is getting RAVE reviews across the board.

Currently 96% from over 70 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Going to watch it on Friday. So excited!
I hope it's good. If not it will still be enjoyable, there's so much acting talent on it.
Some of my favourite actors are in this movie

Most reviews are calling it THE BEST Batman movie adaptation ever already. So looks like we’re in for a treat!

One review that sticks out said it’s like the movie SE7EN took place in Gotham City, which sounds incredible. Dark and brooding.

Yes, it does sound amazing. We haven't had a truly great Batman movie since Michael Keaton played him.
With Jack Nicholson as the Joker and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. Absolutely brilliant!

Interesting. There are very few live-action batman adaptations that showcase the "detective" side of the character, mainly focusing on the butt-kicking and gadgets, but it's a big part of the character. The closest to doing it is probably "Gotham" and it's not even really Batman, as Bruce Wayne is still a kid in that.

As I showed you in the Ukraine thread, it was revealed that Trump actually is the real Batman.

Out of all the people feasibly rich enough to be a "real" Batman, he's got the most recognisable lower face :joker:

Just watched it and it was brilliant!

Paul Dano as the Riddler was fantastic! If there is a sequel I want to see more of him.
Didn't recognize Colin Farrell. Great to see John Turturro there, he's one of my favourites!

Yeah I loved it! I didn't even mind the deviations from comics lore - Martha Wayne wasn't an Arkham, she was a Kane, and the sister of Batwoman's dad. Thomas had never run for Mayor, and Bruce was a bit of a playboy and man-about-town, not a recluse.

But the movie was good enough that I didn't care about any of that :D

Everyone was brilliant in their role, I especially liked Jim Gordon. I wasn't too crazy about Gollum as Albert though...

I could see Riddler being the villain in the next film - the ending of this film sort of leads into Zero Year:

I really want to know who was that guy next to the Riddler, in the prison

It's gotta be

Surely?!

Omg could be!

If anyone picked up the free comic they're giving away for the first few days, Long Halloween was a huge influence on The Dark Knight movie - Batman, Gordon, an.Harvey Dent working together to bring down the mafiosa crime families, ending with Dent becoming Two Face. Long Halloween has more sideshow villains though.

Payl Dano performance is definitely Oscar worthy. Hope.he gets nominated.

He's one of the best actors going, so underrated.

Everything I've seen him in - Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, the Brian Wilson biopic, 12 Years a Slave and more - he's incredible.

Hope this role (which I've heard nothing but praise for) solidifies him as a real contender.

I'd love to see The Joker being the main villain in the sequel. We will probably see other villains as well, but I think he should definitely be there.

Deleted scene - Batman meets Joker in prison:



Genuinely terrifying interpretation of Joker from Barry Keoghan. Wow.

(I’m glad it was cut from the movie though - it doesn’t add anything really story wise. I think I’ve had enough Joker for a while anyway and need some fresh baddies. Gimme a really scary Poison Ivy or something next).
